Infinite weird games

"I originally thought I would never eat this kind of thing again in my life..." Nian Fu quickly smiled bitterly, and the color of memories gradually appeared in his eyes.

The human brain has an emotional protection mechanism. Painful things can easily be diluted into a vague blank. Only when the pain becomes normal will it be painted on the white paper like a big ball of gray paint and cannot be ignored. of a sum.

Most of Nian Fu's memories of the past took place in an orphanage.

Everything is in short supply there, including food, clothing and beds.

The dean used the relief money allocated by the federal government to grow himself into a fat pig, and fed the children in the orphanage with a pitiful amount of swill leaked from his teeth.

As long as people don't starve to death, no matter how difficult the conditions are, nothing will happen. Even if a few starve to death, cutting them up and feeding them to pigs or selling them to the black industry chain is a good way to deal with them.

The only role of those children seems to be to serve as a publicity facade for the Love Foundation, to extract donations from people from all walks of life.

The rest of the time, they were left in various corners of the orphanage like unsupervised animals. Under hunger and pain, they prematurely understood the law of the jungle of the jungle and the strong, fighting like wild beasts for scarce resources.

As a child who was sent to an orphanage midway, Nian Fu was the pampered apple of a family before losing his parents. He was not as adaptable to the rules of competition as those children who grew up in such an environment.

In the first month, her food was often taken away by the older children, and even her bed was occupied by them.

She could only sleep on the damp ground, and like other children who were driven into corners, she picked up straw and spread it on the ground, scrawled on it, to use as a bed.

The building was in disrepair, covered with cobwebs and all kinds of filth, and at night you could hear the squeaking of rodents crawling on the beams.

One night, Nianfu heard the squeaking sound coming to his feet, and the straw underneath him seemed to be pulled by something.

She opened her eyes and saw a big rat with messy hair standing at her heels, upright like a human, with green bean-like eyes shining in the dark, staring at her.

After staring at her for a while, the mouse bent down again, stretched out its mouth with a white beard to grab the straw on the ground...

"I was very angry. I thought I had nothing left, but that nasty rat was trying to grab my last remaining straw. I wanted it to die."

Nian Fu smiled, but his voice was very calm: "So I grabbed it. I originally wanted to strangle it to death, but I thought that would be too easy.

“I hadn’t eaten for two days and was very hungry, so I put it to my mouth and bit off a piece of meat with my front teeth.

"I suddenly realized that humans are also animals, and they can hunt like animals and use their claws and teeth to obtain food. In order to survive, humans can do anything.

"It's unlucky to say that I didn't have to go to that orphanage originally. After all, it was quite troublesome to go through the process. But there happened to be a family that went through the process and then regretted it, so they entered my information instead."

Zeiss took out a handkerchief from his backpack and carefully wiped the blood stains left by the rat flesh between his fingers.

The sour taste of rat meat and blood lingered in his mouth, and he regretted that he had lost the [Evil God Finger Bone] in the copy of "Double Happiness Town" that could transform the taste of meat into vegetarian food.

He listened quietly to Nian Fu's narration. The three words "orphanage" seemed to be far away from him, but they were like sticky threads pulling on some information in his memory, like gauze soaked in water. So lingering.

He remembered that after his parents died when he was sixteen, his uncle and aunt had planned to throw him, a burden, into an orphanage on the outskirts of Jiangcheng.

At that time, his uncle took him to an old building covered with moss and bacteria, and discussed with the pot-bellied dean the process of donating funds and various documents.

He walked alone among the decaying corridors, and countless ghostly faces belonging to children loomed between the window panes, like evil spirits in the abyss, staring straight at him.

He seemed to see a few special faces, maybe there was indeed a girl eating mice, but all he thought at the time was: he hated this place and he wanted to leave.

Later, his uncle did not throw him into the orphanage after all, but took him back to his hometown in the countryside.

One night, he heard his uncle and aunt talking through the wall.

"That little brat is really evil. I'm afraid he was possessed by something unclean."

"Didn't you insist on taking him over? He is a monster, and you lured him into your home, causing a lot of trouble all day long."

"It's not like you don't know. Didn't you also have that dream that night? The evil god said that if we throw him away, our whole family will die!"

"An evil god, an evil god again, I think he looks like an evil god!"

Many memory fragments are buried deep in the bottom of the mind, and they fly up once touched.

Qis suddenly remembered that the foundation his father donated during his lifetime seemed to be mainly engaged in orphanage-related business.

His fate should be inextricably linked to that orphanage. If nothing else happens, he will be thrown into another fate line closely entangled with the orphanage. The details of his character will be different because of his different experiences. difference.

But there was a being outside the chessboard who stretched out his fingers and gently moved the chess pieces. The amplitude was as small as the fluttering of butterfly wings, but it allowed him to slip through the net of his original fate.

The experience that should have belonged to him was given to another person, and he was able to sit here and listen to other people's stories.

Nian Fu sighed, still smiling at the corners of her lips: "I'm not telling you this to win your sympathy, but because this copy gives me a very familiar feeling. Although I can't find any similarities in appearance, I still think of the orphanage.

"Resources are so scarce, everyone is engaged in a survival competition with no winners, fighting to the death, but they can't see the future at all. For example, it's like a group of maggots fighting, and in the end they get nothing but rotten meat.

"At that time, I thought that it was simply a Colosseum."

Qi Si didn't have the leisure to soothe his teammates' childhood shadows. In his opinion, the stories that others took the initiative to tell were not much truer than novels. Even if they were true, they were just handles that could be used.

But everything was too coincidental.

The food given to the players in the copy happened to be rat meat, which could be recognized by Nian Fu.

Nian Fu happened to have an experience of living in an orphanage, and he seemed to have a thousand threads of connection with her.

They just formed a team in this dungeon and could share this information.

Since entering the game, Qis had a feeling of being manipulated by a high-level being, and Qi also told him the existence of the gambling game of the gods truthfully.

But the manipulation seemed to be more than that, the whole world seemed to be following a written program step by step.

And this sense of being manipulated reached its peak in this dungeon. From the moment Chang Xu activated the effect of [Dark Judge], the situation was actually out of control, and all the choices that followed were made passively.

He was no longer at the center of the stage, but became an NPC-like existence, being calculated by the players with a covetous eye, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

—— Very bad, very uncomfortable.

"Do you have any contact information with your teammate?" Qis looked at Nian Fu, "Is the food there also rat meat?"

Nian Fu closed his eyes for two seconds, and nodded when he opened his eyes again: "Yes, I suspect that all the food here is rat meat."

"Is that so?" Qis lowered his eyes and looked at his fingers, and pictures flashed before his eyes.

"I thought of a game called 'Beast Fighting Chess'." He said, "There are eight kinds of chess pieces in total, namely elephants, lions, tigers, leopards, wolves, dogs, cats, and mice. Among them, lions, tigers, leopards, wolves, dogs, and cats can eat mice, and mice can eat the largest elephants.

"According to the rules of beast fighting chess, the food chain relationship between mice and elephants will be the key to breaking the game."

"Why do you think this is beast fighting chess?" Nian Fu frowned, "There are eight kinds of chess pieces in total, but there are only six teams, and we are 'foxes', not any kind of chess."

"Foxes are canines, corresponding to the 'dog' in beast fighting chess. Moreover, chess pieces are not necessarily on the field. "Qi Dun paused and asked, "Do you remember which animal is sitting at the highest point in the audience? "

Nian Fu followed Qi Si's words and recalled carefully.

There were all kinds of animals crowded together in the audience seats. The closer to the bottom, the more crowded it was, and the higher up, the more spacious it was.

The seats below were mostly for cattle, sheep, cats and dogs, while above were carnivores such as tigers, leopards and lions, but there was an animal that was above these predators...

"Elephant." Nian Fu blurted out.

Qis nodded and stated calmly: "Among various animal-themed games, including various animations and novels, only the beast chess sets the elephant as the strongest beast."

"Only the beast chess?"

"As far as I know, this is the case, and I believe that the copy will not set puzzles that exceed the knowledge limit of the player." In Qi Si's hand, a light golden prop flashed by, and Nian Fu could not see clearly what it was. "The key to winning the beast chess is to avoid being in danger and seize the opponent's flaws as much as possible.

"Considering that players in this game don't have equal information, that is, they know their own corresponding animals, but not others' animals, I thought of an interesting way to play..."

...

"The current situation is actually very interesting. It's still early, so I can analyze it carefully for you."

On the other side, Chu Xun sat on the straw bed and spoke slowly: "First of all, it can be made clear that Chang Xu's targeting of Qi Si was not the intention of Jiuzhou Guild. On the contrary, it is very likely that he violated the guild's orders.

"Recently, the forum has been in an uproar because of the identity card. Jiuzhou is in an important stage of internal cleansing and is deeply trapped in the whirlpool of public opinion. It will never take the initiative to expose non-compliant behavior to the public and add fuel to the fire.

"As the first on the newcomer list, Chang Xu is a key target for training and momentum, and no stain is allowed. Using the extreme mechanism of the identity card to attack new guild members is likely to cause negative effects even if there is a reason.

"So, whether Qi Si is dead or alive, Chang Xu will be sanctioned by Jiuzhou Guild as long as he leaves this copy. It is likely that it is not just as simple as expulsion from the guild. Chang Xu himself couldn't have been unaware of this, but he still did it. It can be said that dealing with Qi Si was a desperate and crazy move for him. He wanted to win more than any of us.

"A gambler who is determined to win will definitely be willing to give up the benefits in the process in order to achieve the final victory. This will be a point we can take advantage of."

Green listened in confusion and asked: "So, we are going to find Chang Xu to cooperate, and then discuss the conditions for helping them?"

"No." Chu Xun shook his head, "We don't cooperate with anyone.

"Qisi has gone through the trial of the identity card and has become the target of the entire dungeon. Any team's inclination is a timely help for him. In order to win our support, he may also bring us considerable benefits.

"Only when the chess pieces have not fallen can the chess players think and be afraid. We have a huge advantage and can completely sit back and watch."

Green scratched his head: "Brother, what you said makes sense, but it doesn't seem right. Didn't that guy named Fan Zhanwei make it clear that he would side with Qiss?"

"He just thinks he's smart and wants to be a speculator who can get whatever he wants. Unfortunately, they don't have the capital to raise the price." Chu Xun looked at the tiger mask hanging on the wall, with a faint smile on his lips. " Unless they are lions."

…

"We are 'Lions'."

Fan Zhanwei suddenly put down the bowl of rat meat in his hand, stood up and walked to the wall, took off the lion mask hanging on it and groped gently.

"I thought about it. Only in beast fighting chess would the bishop be placed at the top. So, I should have thought of it a long time ago." He seemed excited and spoke very fast, "We are lions and can eat tigers." , leopard, wolf, dog, cat, rat, second only to the elephant, and the elephant is in the audience..."

Lin Ye was holding a bowl, sitting next to him and watching his teammates walking around in confusion.

The latter's originally dull fish eyes were now so bright that they reminded people of the legendary neurotic Frankenstein.

He swallowed: "What do you mean by those messy things?"

"I'm guessing about the rules and mechanisms of this beast-fighting game." Fan Zhanwei talked while holding a lion mask. "If this game is really based on the real-life beast-fighting chess, then I think we are not as good as I guessed." Being at a disadvantage like that, on the contrary, it occupies the greatest advantage within the scope of the mechanism.

"We will win. It doesn't matter if we are hated or ostracized, no matter how many teams we offend. Because we are the 'Lion', the biggest chess piece after the 'Bishop'."

Lin Ye was confused.

He had played chess with beasts. When he was not a street gangster but a young boy with high hopes in his family, his parents often played various educational games with him.

Although he always makes a mess after playing, and loses his temper under the helpless eyes of his parents, throwing the chess pieces and the board into a mess...

Lin Ye opened his mouth and asked, "What if one of the teams is an elephant?"

"No." Fan Zhanwei put down the lion mask, stretched out a finger and pointed at the top of his head, "The elephant is there."

Under the wall with the tiger mask hanging on it, Chu Xun lowered his index finger and pointed at the bowl filled with flesh and blood: "The rat is here."
